BEDINGTON NEWS.

The news from Bedington we will
endeavor to give,
In poetical style if the editor will per-
NIT,
And hope that the poet, long life
may live,
Who last week so generously display
ed his wit,
In giving us the news from our neigh
boring city-Greensburg,
May success attend him and the hon.
ors he enjoy,
Is the wish of one of the fraternity,
from whose rank he has yerged,
In the career he has entered his mind
to employ.
AS things are so quiet, we will not
have much to tell,
The roads are once more in good con-
dition,
But since the windy weather the grain
don't look so well,
For brick pavements this summer, we
are going to petition,
The Bedington Literary, last week had
agreat debate,
Between our" Orator. here and one
from over the creek,
They expatiated and expanded until
an hour quite late
Our Orator. SCOT leftn we hope he
did not feel weak.
Our singing school will close ere long.
And people will soon begin to change
their residence,
The spring birds will come with their
merry song,
And spring with its beauty, for the
winter recompense.
Ed. Leymaster will move somewhere
over the creek,
While Mrs. Heller will occupy the
house that he will desert,
To give possession to Mr.. Greenwood
the frequent owner of No. 202 n. Main
Street,
Who will open shop, and do all kinds
of shoemaker work.
Mr.. Quinn is kept quite busy as an
auctioneer,
Likewise Doctor Davis patients at
tending.
And-well we will stop-would write
more-but we fear
And await the criticism, we feel sure
is impending.

The Mingo Literary Society is pro-
crossing nicely, with large attend

such societies for the cultivation and
development of the mind. We be-
lieve that it is manifestly right and
proper that beings endowed with
reason, faculty capable of almost
unlimited improvement, should make
use of every instrumentality that
affords the means of such improve
ment. This society declares itself all
association for mutual improvement
in elocution, composition and debate,
and for charging the fund of general
intelligence, in which there is exhibit
ed due regard for the feelings OF
others. Our present board of officers
are very efficient and have faithfully
performed the duties of the offices t.,
which they have been elected. 1t
seems that there are in every locality
some who do not try to improve their
minds, and will throw barriers in the
way of those who are trying, and are
prejudiced toward any who make a
move toward progressing. 1t seems
that they are afraid for any to get on
higher plane Of civilization for they
will be left in the old ruts of fogyisun
alone. May the day soon dawn when
fogyism and all that is akin to it, be
scattered to the four winds of the
earth; that people of intelligence and
progression shall not be annoyed with
such curse. MEMO seems to have

CARPETS, On CLOTH AND MATING
We are determined 10 do big trade in
oil cloth and mating this spring
and in order to do that we have to sell
you goods cheap, that is for less money
than you can find them at other places.
We are now prepared to do that as we
have bought very largely and early and
have some very great bargains in desir-
able new styles, we can show you very
good carpet at 25 cents per yard. Our
all wool filling carpets at 80 cents are
great bargains which a few years ago
sold at 65 cents and our 65 cts. is very
heavy all wool filling that sold few
years ago at so cents. In home made
rag carpets we have the best and
that have ever been brought
to this market. price from 80 cents up.
Straw mattings we bought in December,
we knew we wouldn't need them till
spring but the fellow wanted money
very badly at the time So he put the
prices down and we put the money down.
So we can sell them at from five to ten
cents yard cheaper than if we would
have bought them in the regular way.
All we ask is to call and see our goods
and get prices and we will with pleasure
show you through. EMMERT & FIERY.
